It would be nice to allow 24 hour guest accounts for events like MechMania or hackathons. I imagine you would just create it via the admin interface and set an expire time. Would this be hard to implement?

It depends. With the new PSGI backend, no, since I want to (and can) implement multiple authentication methods.

With the current method of the auth being handled by the webserver itself, it didn't seem possible last time I checked. (Unless we do something sucky like have two login forms.)

Also, depending on how you are doing MechMania in particular, you could make each team Kerberos accounts temporarily.
